Letterpress printing is a traditional printing method that involved printing one color  at a time. A metal die is coated with ink and pressed deep into the paper, which creates the signature impression into the paper that defines letterpress printing. It creates a unique tactile experience filled with old world charm.

Unfortunately, we cannot letterpress print your guest addresses, but don’t fret! We can letterpress print your return address, and flat print your guest addresses in a matching color. Or we can forego letterpress printing on your envelopes and just flat print the return address and the guest address, which will help you save.

Combining letterpress printing with other printing processes is an excellent way to make your invitation suite stand out. One of the most common letterpress combinations is letterpress + foil stamping. Letterpress would generally be used for the main text and foil stamping would be use for accents and the more important information like monograms and/or the bride and groom’s names. Engraving can be combined with letterpress in a similar fashion. Alternatively, your main invitation can be letterpress printed along with flat printing, and the other pieces in your invitation suite can be done the same or they can be flat printed only which will help you save.

Traditionally, this would be the case, but we like to keep with the times and we think it is totally optional. Letterpress printing throughout the invitation suite makes it more cohesive and, of course, letterpress printing is beautiful. However, it is not a necessity and one way to keep your project more economical is to letterpress print your invitation only and the other pieces in your invitation suite can be flat printed in a matching color, which will help you save.
